Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The Song army marched in a hurry, and the road of more than [-] miles could be covered in two and a half hours with luggage.

At four o'clock in the afternoon (two o'clock in the afternoon), Song Jun was only six miles away from Shuicheng.

At this time, in the water city castle, Tsunemasa, the governor of Chikuzen, was still drinking with the local wealthy people in the backyard, reciting poems and composing lyrics.

Chikuzen Country is the richest place in Xikaido. It is located in the hinterland of Fukuoka Plain. Hakata Port was an international port in Tang and Song Dynasties, and Fukuoka Plain has developed agriculture.

The wealthy and famous families here live in extravagant luxury.

At this time, Yuan Changzheng and others were reading Su Shi's "Water Tune Getou When Will the Bright Moon Come".

"Kunomamori, I heard that Fujiwara Seimei took a lot of treasures in Hakata Port!" The person who spoke was a short, fat man named Muto Yoshiken, who was Minamoto's powerful general.

"Didn't we also send Hattori to defecate?"

"The subordinates are worried that Hattori will mess things up. Fujiwara Yorimaga and Fujiwara Qingming are very greedy. If Hattori is not easy to deal with, the property will still be taken by Fujiwara Qingming!" We searched quite a lot! And this matter, my subordinates have always believed that we should not listen to Fujiwara Yorimaga, Hira Tadamori supports our trade with the Song Dynasty, which is only beneficial to our Chikuzen Kingdom, not harmful."

"How can Hira Tadamori, a samurai, fight against the Fujiwara family who is in power?" Yuan Changzheng's face immediately became serious, "I don't want to cooperate with the Fujiwara family, but I, the governor of the Chikuzen country, have no place to speak in front of the Fujiwara family. , This matter will stop here. We killed the Song people and robbed their property. This is the order of Guan Bai and the Taizheng Minister. If the Song people want to make trouble, go to the capital to find Guan Bai and the Taizheng Minister! "

After finishing speaking, Yuan Changzheng took a sip of wine and muttered: "The people of Song Dynasty and our country are separated by thousands of miles of sea area. They can't call. Didn't the Tang Dynasty also call here?"

Wasn't the establishment of this Dazaifu originally to prevent the Tang army from retaliating after the Battle of Baijiangkou?

Unexpectedly, Datang never sent troops to fight Japan.

This allowed the Japanese to regain a little self-confidence.

Chapter 1276 Breaking Through the Japanese Army (Part [-])

"Ono City has given another order to increase the number of coastal defense personnel in the next few days. It is said that the number will be increased to 2000, and let us send another 1000." Yuan Yiding on the side said, "It is said to prevent the Song Army within a month. Arrive at Hakata Port."

"Just recruit 1000 people from various villages, don't touch our samurai." Yuan Changzheng didn't seem to care about this matter. To him, 1000 people were just a number. Think about it, it is impossible for the Song Army to come over so quickly, so what if we come, we have enough troops, my Zhuqian country is not a small Shijian country, if the Song army dares to come, I don't mind letting them all be buried here !"

While enjoying themselves, someone suddenly came to report: "Report, Guoshou, we found a large army a few miles north of Shuicheng, and it is coming towards Shuicheng quickly!"

Yuan Changzheng, who was originally enjoying the joy, asked in surprise: "A large army? Whose people are it?"

"Song written on the flag."

Suddenly, everyone present stood up in surprise.

"Song Jun came so soon!" Yuan Yiding said with emotion.

"How many people are here?" Yuan Changzheng asked again.

"A preliminary survey of more than 2000 people."

"More than 2000 people dare to come to our Chikuzen country to play wild!" Yuan Changzheng immediately became full of confidence, "Give me an order to call all the samurai immediately!"

"Yes!"

At this time, the Song army came all the way, and the Japanese civilians on the road gave in when they saw it.

Liu Zhen pointed to the front and said, "Shuicheng is ahead."

Everyone could already see the city ahead with their naked eyes.

Zhang Rong ordered the march to be stopped and the whole army camped on the spot to rest.

Although Liu Zhen didn't know how to march and fight, he still summoned up his courage and asked, "This place is very close to Shuicheng. Our army is camping now. What if the enemy troops attack?"

"The Japanese went out to fight us in the field, which is exactly what we want." Zhao Chen said with a smile, "The camp is deliberately shown to the Japanese. The Japanese may think that we are a tired army at this time, and they will not camp for us to rest. time."

"Then we..." Liu Zhen became even more worried when he heard this.

Zhao Chen didn't answer his words, but went with Zhang Rong to inspect the troops.

Not long after, the scouts came to report: "Report, His Royal Highness King Liao, Manager Zhang, the gate of the Japanese city has been opened."

"Okay! It seems that the Japanese soldiers in Shuicheng are very confident in themselves!"

The Song army began to form an array, and after the Japanese army left the city, they also began to form an array.

The Fukuoka Plain is indeed the most important and most quintessential plain in northwestern Japan. Hakata Port is the international port of the Tang and Song Dynasties. There are also rivers flowing down from Hakata Port to reach the city of water.

There are also large plains, where rice fields are widely spread, agriculture is developed, aquatic products are developed, commerce is also developed, and the natural population is thriving.

Therefore, this Dazaifu is the head office established by the Japanese imperial court in the west to control the western countries. It has a taste of the western capital of Japan.

Shuicheng dispatched more than 4000 Japanese troops in one breath, not counting Ono Castle. This scale, placed in Japan, is enough to crush most of the troops of the Reign Control Kingdom.

Seeing the Japanese flag flying in front of Shuicheng, Liu Zhen ran over worriedly and said, "Director Zhang, the power of the Japanese longbow should not be underestimated. Soldiers should have a high rate of wearing armor."

"Liu Zhen, when you come this time, you only need to identify who killed the person in the embassy. When the time comes, the king will find him out, cut him eight hundred times, and let him kneel there to kowtow to you. You watch him slowly Just die, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Yes... yes..." Liu Zhen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect His Royal Highness Liao Wang to act so happily, and he couldn't help feeling more and more fond of Liao Wang.

Surrounded by the guards, Yuan Changzheng arrived on the tower. At this time, on the tower of Shuicheng, the Japanese army was wearing armor and holding a bow, waiting in full force.

Yuan Changzheng said: "Those who are going to Ono City, have you set off yet?"

"Report to Guoshou, let's go, and we will arrive at Ono City in about an hour."

Yuan Yiding said: "Father, should we wait for the reinforcements from Dayo City to arrive before fighting the Song army?"

"No need, the Song army is so fast, it must be a tired army, look at them." Yuan Changzheng pointed in the direction of the Song army in front and said, "They are stationed in the barracks and want to repair them. It’s so easy to fight, besides, this credit cannot be taken away by Fujiwara Yorimaga, the Song army defeated Ishi Jianguo, Kyoto is in distress, if we defeat the Song army here, the emperor will definitely reward me!"

There was a burst of wanton noise in the Japanese army. They drew their swords, as if they were declaring the momentum of the home court to the Song army.

On the Song Army's side, ten crossbows and eight ox crossbows were lined up separately.

This time, the bows and arrows of the eight-ox crossbow did not go directly into the quiver, but each one was equipped with a long spear, which is usually used to resist horses.

This is one of the common uses of the eight-ox crossbow. In history, the Song army used the eight-ox crossbow to attack the city. It was to shoot this kind of long spear towards the city wall. .

However, this time, instead of shooting the city wall, they shot people directly.

"How many Japanese troops have come out, where are the scouts?" Zhang Rong shouted.

Not long after, the scouts rushed back and shouted: "Boss Zhang, at least three thousand Japanese soldiers have come out!"

"Good!" Zhang Rong drew out his knife and shouted, "Let the arrow!"

The soldiers of the Baoxu crossbow began to equip the crossbow with spears, and each Baoxu crossbow was operated by dozens of soldiers.

Just as the longbow archers of the Japanese army began to gather at the front, ten eight-ox crossbows roared angrily, and ten long spears rushed out of the Song army formation like ten flying swords.

The ground seemed to be rolled up by the ten startled rainbows.

Before the Japanese army could react, ten long spears rushed into the Japanese army formation head-on.

This kind of super crossbow with a range of 1500 meters can easily penetrate almost any armor at this time.

I saw that the long spear was hit from the front, piercing the bodies of several Japanese soldiers in an instant, and the blood splashed on the faces of the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

After being hit by several people in a row, he stopped.

The Japanese soldiers on the left and right were all affected, and their bodies could not help moving to the two sides, making a cry of panic.

Of course, some spears have a certain arc in the air and cannot be pushed flat, but they were shot into the Japanese army and nailed the two Japanese soldiers to the ground.

Those Japanese soldiers whose bodies were pierced did not die immediately, but wailed heart-piercingly, their faces contorted in pain.

The whole process looked like ten thunderbolts impacted in front of the Japanese army formation, instantly breaking their formation into gaps.

The wanton clamor of the Japanese army behind has not yet settled down, but the screams of the Japanese army in front have already sounded.

Everything happened so fast that Yuan Changzheng, who was approaching the top of the city, hadn't figured out what happened yet.

Song Jun began to install spears on the Ba Niu Crossbow again.

Chapter 1277 Killing the Japanese (Part [-])

The tea cup in Yuan Changzheng's hand on the top of the wall fell to the ground and shattered.

The calmness and calmness on his face froze.

Yuan Yiding on one side stared at this scene with wide eyes, the eyeballs almost protruding.

The Japanese in the military formation could not see the overall situation, and those who were not shot did not have a deep understanding.

After all, only dozens of people were killed, and only a hundred people were affected.

But the people standing on the top of the city can see the whole picture clearly.

"Get shot!"

The Song army barracks let out the roar of the capital.

"Pull the string! Pull the string hard!"

The eight-ox crossbow made a creaking sound, and the heavy and solid giant crossbow began to operate again, gathering terrifying energy.

When the second wavelength gun burst out, it rushed into the Japanese army again without any suspense.

Wherever the spear touched, it was like paper, bloody.

One person was even stabbed in the throat, half of the neck was torn apart, unable to support the head, the head was tilted and hung on the neck.

There were screams again in the Japanese army.

The people behind didn't know what happened in front of them, but they heard the desperate wailing and panic, which made the people around them feel like a bird of fright.

Guoshou Yuan Changzheng on the top of the wall couldn't help shouting: "Counterattack! Counterattack!"

Although the number of casualties was not large, it dealt a great blow to the Japanese army formation and morale.

In such a state of panic, the ranks of the Japanese army became chaotic.

The Song army stopped shooting with the eight-ox crossbow, and teams of crossbow archers marched forward in quick trot.

Until the distance between the two sides reached about 70 meters, the crossbowmen of the Song Army stopped.

There were three hundred crossbowmen in total, and they were all in armor.

"Fire arrows!"

The commander gave the order very neatly.

The crossbow arrows made light sounds, and hundreds of arrows rushed out in an instant, hitting the chaotic Japanese army like sharp iron rain.

With this kind of intensive shooting, the killing range undoubtedly expanded instantly.

The first few rows of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.

Yuan Changzheng of the city tower was even more furious when he saw it, and roared: "Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack!"

Some Japanese soldiers bent their bows and shot arrows at the Song army in a panic, and the arrows rained here and there.

Minamoto Tsunemasa's beloved general Muto Ran... Oh no, Muto Yorikan yelled at the chaotic soldiers: "Archers! Archers! Counterattack! Archers!"

His voice was like the waves in the sea amidst the many chaotic shouts.

After these waves of long-range strikes by the Song army, the Japanese army's front attack force suffered heavy losses.

The longbow archers were dead and wounded, and many fled like headless chickens holding their heads.

When the crossbow archers of the Song Army released the second wave of arrows, the Japanese army finally fell into chaos, and everyone threw away their banners and fled in a hurry.

Even Yorikan Fujiwara, who was wearing a large armor, chose to run away immediately.

When Zhang Rong saw the opponent's formation in chaos, he immediately ordered: "The third battalion, attack!"

The third battalion of armored infantry, which had already been prepared, was divided into two parts, with 250 people on one side, forming a two-wing outflanking trend, and quickly pushed forward.

The crossbowmen of the second battalion in front also put away their crossbow arrows, showed their axes one after another, and made a sudden attack from the middle.

The changes in the battlefield were so fast that the Japanese at the top of the city could not adapt.

Just lost?

"Quickly open the city gate!" Yuan Yiding shouted.

"Don't open it!" Yuan Changzheng immediately denied the proposal of his idiot son.

"Father, that's almost all of our troops!" Yuan Yiding said louder, almost yelling at his father.

"Open the city gate, what should Song people do if they rush in!" Yuan Changzheng was bleeding in his heart, why didn't he want to open the city gate to let everyone in.

For him, those warriors are the basis for maintaining power.

He did not invest less in these warriors.

The Song army's three passers-by quickly rushed into the Japanese army that had been completely chaotic and dispersed, and swung their axes to chop at the Japanese army's neck.

The sound of bones being chopped open sounded in front of Shuicheng City, making one's scalp tingle.
